Be realistic

Sometimes our expectations can be set so high

That when we fail to reach them we wonder why,

Lofty goals and are all well and very good

We all want to achieve the high standards that we know we should,

But it’s worth remembering to temper them

Because we are all flawed and not superhuman,

It’s ok to accept our limitations but don’t be restricted by them

But what causes us such aggravation,

Is when we strive for unrealistic goals

Then come up short causing us to fold,

The balance we need to strike is always fine

But we all need to remember failure and success does not define,

Who we are, it’s about always putting in the time and trying

Because in balance we will get to do then as much time laughing, as we do crying.
